Saw this article on yahoo (http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/Attractive-women-overlooked-rsg-543877194.html?x=0)

We r living in a prejudiced n biased society! -.-" not all pretty faces r bimbos ya =.= btw, som vendors tend to mistake a leechie as some secretary or pa...do i have such a secretary face? =.=

N i've repeated this a couple of times...pls dont send me anymore msgs asking me abt my profession...juz take it tt i'm a leech ok?thx o.O

Dont call me materialistic...i'm purely capitalistic!!! ;p

Btw, som guys' lies r insulting my intelligence...mayb they r too used to dating dumbo bimbos? -.-"

How can u trust a person who has been lying to u right from the start? -.-" som ppl thought tt they r professional liars n no one could telling tt they r lying...well, there r juz too many loopholes in those webs of lies...but i'm too smartie for him ler =.=" someone who isnt worth it today wont b worth it 1 yr or 10 yrs from now! so let the other lady suffer bah...lol ;p n guess what? i found out somthg today which i think i shldnt...juz based on my brains...amused...lol ;p really glad tt what i figured out falls perfectly in place n i'm spared of all possible future tortures =)

N here's a witty line from veronica's fren: "Why buy an IPAD when you can use a manifying glass over IPHONE"?" ;p

Saw rod's fb status "All I want is to find a nice person to hang out with until I drop dead. Not a lot to ask." me too...i also wanna someone to hang out with until i drop dead...n i'm not asking a lot ya =.= i'm juz a simple gal who wanna b loved by a simple guy...tt's all...simple right? but y is it tt such a simple thing can b so hard eh? haiz =.=

Btw, saw this interesting comment abt men n unfaithfulness ---> "this lady commented on how "if man can be trusted for faithfulness. Pigs can climb trees" n her male friend actually praised her smart" o.O" lol...faithfulness...is this supposed to b such a rare virtue these days? =.= "Never lie to e person u love. U might think lying will protect them from harm but when they know e truth, u r e one who harm them most." everyone likes to look at pretty objects...but the thing is there's a distinct difference between appreciation n taking action to hav affairs -.-" hmmm, can we still hav the confidence to trust someone who has been unfaithful previously? =.= trust is a fragile thing...there r many guys with roving eyes these days -.-" although past performance is not indicative of future performance...but past indiscretion left a BIG question mark over the future? -.-" there r many things in life which r so unpredictable...maybe someone can tell u tt he'll be faithful...but how can he guarantee tt? some guys juz love to love many women...perhaps these many women can help to mask any insecurity issues tt they may hav? =.=

N i was thinking abt jeff's comments --->
"To My Friends Who Are STILL HOLDING ON
A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be, and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. If that person doesnt worth it now, it's not going to be worth it a year or 10 years from now." sad fact but how true...haiz...

"男人不坏，女人不爱" is tt y nice gals r atttracted to bad boys? my bro is under the impression tt leechie kenna "gong tao" or some charm n asks y am i attracted to bad boys instead of nerdy, geeky types? -.-"

"現在我對你很好、很好、很好，你不需要、你無所謂、你不在乎，你不珍惜，

當某天，你被傷害，想起我，你就會明白了。"

Rem tt "Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option"!!!

Gotta rem ---> "Leaving you was probably the biggest mistake they will ever make. Let them dwell on it, you move on!" n "I can find a partner who will appreciate me the way I am and stop wasting time on a doomed relationship."

V.sensible advice from J. ---> "people are in general selfish. that should include you and me. so make yourself happy. if you are happy being with someone nothing else matters. if you're not, it's time to move on. i guess it's harder to move on if you have nothing to move on to.. but given your active social life i doubt that is the case. the world is your oyster as they say. but lying is a character flaw, no man or woman should have to succumb to it."

An example of a tacky pickup line ---> "Hi leechie
I am yr cousin lychee" =.="

The urban article abt ageing is damn scarry...i'm damn scared of growing old...call me bimbotic but i'm being honest here...i admit tt i feel relieved whenever guys turn their heads to check me out...i'll b damn worried if heads dont turn 1 fine day n i hope tt day will never come x.X" i'm not afraid of death but i'm damn scared of growing old...damn scared of growing old alone...i juz wanna someone sincere to grow old with...juz like tt chinese love song...the most romantic thing is to slowly grow old with the one tt u love! <3

LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - Too hot to be an engineer or prison guard? Good looks can kill a woman's chances of snaring jobs considered "masculine", according to a study by the University of Colorado Denver Business School.

Attractive women faced discrimination when they applied for jobs where appearance was not seen as important. These positions included job titles like manager of research and development, director of finance, mechanical engineer and construction supervisor.

They were also overlooked for categories like director of security, hardware salesperson, prison guard and tow-truck driver.

"In these professions being attractive was highly detrimental to women," researcher Stefanie Johnson said in a statement, adding that attractive women tended to be sorted into positions like receptionist or secretary.

"In every other kind of job, attractive women were preferred. This wasn't the case with men which shows that there is still a double standard when it comes to gender."

The study, published in the Journal of Social Psychology, was based on giving participants a list of jobs and photos of applicants and asking them to sort them according to their suitability for the role. They had a stack of 55 male and 55 female photos.

While the researchers found good-looking women were ruled out for certain jobs, they found that attractive men did not face similar discrimination and were always at an advantage.

But Johnson said beautiful people still enjoyed a significant edge when it came to the workplace.

They tended to get higher salaries, better performance evaluations, higher levels of admission to college, better voter ratings when running for public office, and more favorable judgments in trials.

"In every other kind of job, attractive women were preferred," said Johnson, who chided those who let stereotypes affect hiring decisions.

"The less talented we are, the more focused we must be. Even the least talented can accomplish grandiose achievements if applying themelves ferociously, consistently, and with enough focus over time. In fact, it seems that often the greatest accomplishments go to those who actually aren’t all that talented, but retain just this one last shred of talent: the ability to focus intensely and over the long term. Sadly, we will never know what wonders of painted masterpieces Leonardo may have produced for the enjoyment of the world. He spent too much of his time elsewhere, on areas other than his gifting. While in many cases he was still better in these areas than most of the rest of us, the loss still stings. One is left wanting more, but time answers back a heartless “too late”.
